‘This is an important book for those who wish to answer the summons of an uneasy relationship with one’s gaze and what is looked at so that we might reencounter the narratives, the biographies, that have enabled us to see what we do and perhaps come to perceive our stories differently. Such double vision is indispensable.’
“The essays in this collection engage with important questions in a set of intersecting fields – autobiography studies, new materialist analyses, studies in visuality, and studies of bodies and embodiment.”
“What an ambitious and absorbing book about autobiography and the visual! This collection of provocative essays offers a range of responses to the problem of visualizations of selfhood.”
